Question: What happened to Bailey's on Laurens Road? I noticed it was recently demolished.

Answer: We can all expect quite a few changes around the Laurens Road corridor over the next few years as the Verdae development continues its progress.

The new changes include: an extension of the GHS Swamp Rabbit Trail System, a new road and plenty of construction.

The property where Bailey's Sports Grille used to be is among those changes.

The former Bailey's building was torn down earlier this month. According to Greenville County records, the property is owned by Verdae Properties, LLC.

Debbie Wallace, a representative of the Verdae Development, confirmed that the property belongs to her development group. Wallace said the owners chose to demolish the building and the property is now under contract for purchase.

Wallace could not provide any more detail about the purchase, which is typical of transactions that are still in the works.

Regardless, the property is currently zoned S-1. That means the property falls in a district "established to provide a transition between commercial and industrial districts," according to the Greenville County website.

The property is 1.24 acres and it last sold in 1990. The property is valued around $777,000, according to Greenville County property records.
